Woodstock '94

It was like wood stock.

It was like Woodstock 94.

Hey, Mico, do that crazy magic trick.

I did the fucking bucket.

kidding.

So it's like, I worked at Woodstock 94 for a company called Very Special Artists.

And just like at summer camp, I drew caricatures of all the Woodstock people.

And they were trying to reenact the 20-year anniversary of the first Woodstock, but the Time Life version didn't.

it definitely did it's coming up

testament release is low first album without alex skolnick and clementi but it's still pretty awesome uh metallica dancing and suicidal tour together i wish i had seen that but i didn't because i got woodstock tickets woodstock 94 happens with metallica narrowsmith headlining alice in chains would have been the friday headliner but dropped out because of lane staley's drug addiction they were replaced by nine inch nails uh oomph established the new dutch harta genre with their album sperm later uh what genre new dutch heart it is industrial metal from germany new deutsche character oh i thought we were talking about basically rammstein as a genre and ralph sheepers leaves gamma ray he later goes on to form primal fear a band that could not care less about don take it away dancing core

Danzig 4.

Wow.

I couldn't go to see the Metallica Suicidal Danzig tour, which I really wish I could have, because that would have been amazing, especially with shorter set lists from Danzig and Suicidal actually would have got like the cream of the crop and then like three hours in the town.

Right.

But I bought Woodstock 94 tickets, so that was all my money that summer.

And then we had money later in the year to go see shows.

And so his father... writes a diary in the voice of his son, and then his son kind of becomes a celeb, but part of the running joke is his son also loves Bruce Hornsby, who Robin Williams' character loves, but he makes his son love Bruce Hornsby.

So anyway, I see Bruce Hornsby on the side of the stage, and I recognize her from that movie, and also from skipping over his set every time in the Woodstock 94 VHS.

I mean, Bruce Hornsby's a shredder.

He's awesome, but these are my only points of reference.

But nowhere is the shift more violently apparent than in the music scene

Woodstock '94 is the perfect encapsulation of this.

You take a brand known for 1960s peace, love, and acoustic guitars, and the defining images of the '94 festival are Nine Inch Nails and Green Day covered head to toe in mud, screaming at 350,000 people

peopleThe alternative explosion had fully breached the mainstream

It wasn't as commercially successful as their debut, although it sold a million copies in the US, I would love to sell a million copies, and then another m- million internationally.

The band continues touring, including Appearances at Woodstock 1994, at the Glastonbury Festival, but the lineup began to change.

Aaron Shankman left the band in 1994, citing musical and personal differences and frustration with life on the road.

Anthony Cruzan replaced him.

The month, yeah.

And then a bunch of times down in Atlanta, a bunch of times on the road, Woodstock 94.

Yeah.

You know, all that sort of.
